At the full 53.6A peak pulse current, the clamping voltage holds at 11.2V max. ## Field swap and package note DO-214AA (SMB) surface-mount package — the body is large enough to hand-solder with a fine tip iron if you are replacing it on a board without a hot-air station. Polarity is not an issue here: bidirectional means both directions clamp identically, so orientation does not matter. That saves a board spin if the footprint was laid out for a unidirectional part. ## Sourcing and compliance No power line protection rating (the spec says 'Power Line Protection: No') — this is a signal-line or low-voltage rail TVS, not a mains-side suppressor. Use it on data lines, I/O ports, or DC supply rails up to 6.5V.","metaTitle":"SMBJ6.5CA-13-F Diodes Inc TVS, 600W, 6.5V Bidirectional","metaDescription":"SMBJ6.5CA-13-F TVS diode, 600W peak pulse, 6.5V reverse standoff, bidirectional, DO-214AA SMB.
